[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness installation, and in particular to an automotive wiring harness clamp structure. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive electrical systems, wiring harnesses serve as crucial carriers connecting various electronic components, and their rational layout and reliable fixation directly affect the overall performance and operational safety of the vehicle. With the rapid development of automotive intelligence and electrification, the number and types of wiring harnesses inside vehicles have increased significantly, and wiring harnesses with different functions (such as power harnesses, signal harnesses, etc.) need to be arranged in an orderly manner within a limited space.

[0003] Therefore, an automotive wiring harness clamp structure is needed to meet the above application requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive wiring harness clamp structure so that multiple wire harnesses can be positioned and separated within the same automotive wiring harness clamp structure during installation, thereby meeting the application requirements of orderly arrangement of wire harnesses in a limited space.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automotive wiring harness clamp structure, comprising:

[0006] A substrate having mounting holes that connect to a mounting surface;

[0007] Ribs are disposed on the base and a plurality of spaced-apart receiving chambers with open tops are formed around the ribs for accommodating multiple strands of automotive wiring harnesses.

[0008] A cover, detachably mounted on the rib, closes the openings of the plurality of receiving chambers to limit the automotive wiring harness located within the receiving chambers.

[0009] Furthermore, the receiving chamber includes at least two arc-shaped chambers arranged from top to bottom, and two adjacent arc-shaped chambers are connected, so that multiple automotive wiring harnesses can be placed sequentially in the arc-shaped chambers from the opening direction of the receiving chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the receiving chamber is configured as a gourd-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, hooks are provided on both sides of the cover;

[0012] Both sides of the outer wall of the rib plate are provided with wedge-shaped surfaces that slope outward from top to bottom, and a slot matching the hook is provided below the wedge-shaped surface.

[0013] When the cover aligns with the rib, the hook moves along the wedge-shaped surface to engage with the slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the rib also surrounds a snap-fit ​​cavity with a top opening, the snap-fit ​​cavity being located between two adjacent receiving chambers for engaging with the snap-fit ​​cover.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower surface of the cover is provided with a snap-fit ​​connector that matches the snap-fit ​​cavity;

[0016] The snap-fit ​​connector is configured with an arrow-shaped structure, and its outer diameter decreases from the direction away from the base.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower surface of the cover has multiple protrusions for closing the opening of the receiving chamber;

[0018] The side of the protrusion that fits into the vehicle wiring harness is designed to be arc-shaped.

[0019] Furthermore, at least two mounting holes are provided, and one of the mounting holes is configured as an oblong hole.

[0020] Furthermore, the base and the rib are integrally formed.

[0021] Furthermore, the base, the rib, and the cover are all made of engineering plastic.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] By setting a base, ribs, and covers, and having the ribs surround to form multiple spaced, open-top receiving chambers, multiple wire harnesses are installed in multiple receiving chambers respectively. By having the covers detachably mounted on the ribs to close the openings of the receiving chambers, the positioning of the multiple wire harnesses after installation can be effectively prevented from being misaligned or detached. This achieves the goal of integrating multiple wire harnesses within the same automotive wire harness clamp structure, with each wire harness being separated and limited, thereby realizing the function of orderly arrangement of wire harnesses within a limited space.

[0024] Furthermore, by including at least two arc-shaped chambers arranged from top to bottom in the receiving chamber, and connecting adjacent arc-shaped chambers, multiple automotive wiring harnesses can be placed and positioned sequentially from top to bottom in the same receiving chamber. This achieves the goal of increasing the number of positioning wiring harnesses without increasing the overall space occupied by the automotive wiring harness clamp structure, thereby adapting to more wiring harness installation scenarios and expanding the scope of application.

[0029] The automotive wiring harness clamp structure of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the schematic diagrams, which illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the utility model described herein while still achieving the advantageous effects of this utility model. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit this utility model.

[0030] Furthermore, based on the teachings of this specification, those skilled in the art can form new technical solutions through cross-combination of different implementation methods without creating technical contradictions. Such variations should all be considered to fall within the protection scope of this patent.

[0031] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an automotive wiring harness clamp structure, including:

[0033] The base 1 has mounting holes 11 that connect to a mounting surface (such as automotive sheet metal).

[0034] It should be noted that at least two mounting holes 11 are provided. By providing at least two mounting holes 11, the automotive wiring harness clamp structure can be fixed at two points to enhance the connection strength with the mounting surface and reduce shaking when fixed with a single hole.

[0035] In addition, the shape of the mounting hole 11 is further defined. Specifically, one of the mounting holes 11 is set as an oblong hole. By setting one of the mounting holes 11 as an oblong hole, the automotive wiring harness clamp structure can be finely adjusted in the installation position within a certain range to adapt to the size deviation or drilling error of the mounting surface of different models, thereby improving the versatility and assembly convenience of the automotive wiring harness clamp structure.

[0036] Ribs 2 are disposed on the base 1, and multiple spaced-apart, open-top receiving chambers 21 are formed around the ribs 2. By setting the ribs 2 on the base 1 and the multiple spaced-apart receiving chambers 21 formed by the ribs 2, multiple wire harnesses with different functions (such as power harnesses and signal harnesses) or different diameters can be classified and placed in independent chambers, avoiding the wire harnesses from tangling and squeezing each other, thereby achieving the orderly arrangement of wire harnesses in a limited space, while reducing the risk of signal interference or wear between different wire harnesses.

[0037] In this embodiment, the accommodating chamber 21 is used to accommodate multiple strands of automotive wiring harnesses. That is, by enabling a single accommodating chamber 21 to accommodate multiple strands of wiring harnesses, the number of locatable wiring harnesses can be increased without increasing the overall space occupied by the automotive wiring harness clamp structure, thereby adapting to more wiring harness installation scenarios and improving the scope of application.

[0038] The base 1 and the rib 2 are integrally formed. By making the base 1 and the rib 2 integrally formed, there is no assembly gap between them, which avoids loosening or breakage of the connection due to vibration. At the same time, it enhances the overall structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the automotive wiring harness clamp structure, thereby extending the service life of the automotive wiring harness clamp structure to adapt to the complex working environment of automobiles.

[0039] A cover 3 is detachably mounted on the rib plate 2 and closes the openings of the multiple receiving chambers 21 to limit the automotive wiring harness located within the receiving chambers 21. By providing a detachable cover 3, the wiring harness within the receiving chambers 21 will not detach from the openings during vehicle vibration, achieving reliable restraint of the multi-strand wiring harness. Furthermore, the detachable nature allows for easy maintenance and replacement of specific wiring harnesses without damaging the automotive wiring harness clamp structure, thus improving the convenience of wiring harness maintenance.

[0040] This device consists of a base 1, ribs 2, and a cover 3. The ribs 2 form multiple spaced, open-top accommodating chambers 21, allowing multiple wire harnesses to be installed in each chamber. The cover 3 is detachably mounted on the ribs 2 to close the openings of the chambers 21. This effectively prevents misalignment or detachment of the wire harnesses after installation, thus integrating multiple wire harnesses into the same automotive wiring harness clamp structure and separating and limiting each wire harness. This achieves the function of orderly arranging wire harnesses within a limited space.

[0041] In a further embodiment, the specific shape of the receiving chamber 21 is further defined to better accommodate and position the multi-strand wire harness.

[0042] Specifically, the receiving chamber 21 includes at least two arc-shaped chambers arranged from top to bottom, and adjacent arc-shaped chambers are connected, allowing multiple automotive wiring harnesses to be placed sequentially into the arc-shaped chambers from the opening direction of the receiving chamber 21. By designing the receiving chamber 21 as multiple connected arc-shaped chambers, multiple wiring harnesses can be accommodated in layers within the same receiving chamber 21, increasing the wiring harness capacity within a single receiving chamber 21. This allows for the adaptation to the installation needs of more wiring harnesses without increasing the overall space occupied by the automotive wiring harness clamp structure, thus improving space utilization.

[0043] In other embodiments, the arc-shaped chambers can be configured with different sizes, such as increasing inner diameter from top to bottom, so that wire harnesses of different diameters can be installed in the same receiving chamber 21. For example, wire harnesses with smaller diameters can be placed in the upper arc-shaped chamber, and those with larger diameters can be placed in the lower arc-shaped chamber, further improving the applicability.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the receiving chamber 21 is configured as a gourd-shaped structure. By configuring the cross-section of the receiving chamber 21 as a gourd-shaped structure, the layered wire harnesses are slightly limited by the narrowing structure in the middle, preventing the upper layer wire harnesses from sliding into the lower layer due to vibration or from shifting as a whole, thereby enhancing the positioning stability of the multi-strand wire harnesses. At the same time, the rounded transition design of the gourd shape can also effectively reduce frictional damage to the wire harness insulation layer.

[0045] In a further embodiment, the cover 3 and the rib plate 2 are further defined to improve the connection effect between the two, thereby improving the stability of the wiring harness positioning.

[0046] Specifically, hooks 31 are provided on both sides of the cover 3.

[0047] Both sides of the outer wall of the rib plate 2 are provided with wedge-shaped surfaces that slope outward from top to bottom, and a slot 22 that matches the hook 31 is provided below the wedge-shaped surfaces.

[0048] When the cover 3 aligns with the rib plate 2, the hook 31 moves along the wedge-shaped surface to engage with the slot 22.

[0049] By providing hooks 31 on both sides of the cover 3 and wedge-shaped surfaces and grooves 22 on the rib plate 2, the hooks 31 can smoothly slide into the wedge-shaped surfaces and precisely engage with the grooves 22 during installation, enabling rapid assembly of the cover 3 and the rib plate 2. Furthermore, the reaction force of the wedge-shaped surfaces enhances the tightness of the fit between the hooks 31 and the grooves 22, preventing loosening due to vehicle vibration and ensuring the reliable sealing of the cover 3 within the receiving chamber 21.

[0050] It should be noted that the base 1, the rib plate 2 and the cover 3 are all made of engineering plastic, so that the cover 3 can deform to a certain extent. Therefore, when it is necessary to separate the cover 3 from the rib plate 2, the operator can pry the hook 31 open to both sides to disengage it from the slot 22 and complete the disassembly.

[0051] In other embodiments, to further improve the stability of the connection between the cover 3 and the rib 2, the rib 2 is further defined to form an auxiliary engagement structure, thereby forming a multi-point engagement with the cover 3.

[0052] Specifically, the rib plate 2 also surrounds a snap-fit ​​cavity 23 with a top opening, the snap-fit ​​cavity 23 being located between two adjacent receiving chambers 21 and used to engage with the cover 3.

[0053] The lower surface of the cover 3 is provided with a snap connector 32 that matches the snap-fit ​​cavity 23, and the snap connector 32 is configured as an arrow-shaped structure with an outer diameter decreasing from the direction away from the base 1.

[0054] By setting the arrow-shaped snap connector 32, the snap connector 32 can be easily inserted into the snap cavity 23, and by utilizing the characteristic of increasing outer diameter, it can fit tightly against the inner wall of the snap cavity 23, so as to achieve a stable snap-fit ​​in the middle of the cover 3.

[0055] Furthermore, the barbed structure formed by the arrowhead shape can enhance the anti-detachment effect after the two are locked together.

[0056] In a further embodiment, the cover 3 is further defined to improve the limiting effect on the wire harness.

[0057] Specifically, the lower surface of the cover 3 has multiple protrusions 33 for closing the opening of the receiving chamber 21.

[0058] The side of the protrusion 33 that is in contact with the automotive wiring harness is designed to be arc-shaped.

[0059] By providing an arc-shaped protrusion 33 on the lower surface of the cover 3, the protrusion 33 can penetrate deep into the opening of the cavity 21 and fit tightly against the internal wire harness. This not only enhances the sealing effect of the opening, but also reduces local compression of the wire harness through the arc-shaped contact surface, preventing the wire harness insulation layer from being damaged due to long-term stress, thereby protecting the integrity of the wire harness while limiting its position.

[0060] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
